This week’s episode is about confidence: how it can help you to lose weight, ways to help bolster confidence and what it means for your overall path in life to be confident. It’s a state of being clear-headed: either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct, or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Confidence means “to trust”; so, having self-confidence is having trust in yourself.
Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior to others. It’s a quiet inner knowledge that you’re capable. Confident people: feel secure rather than insecure.
What is a confident person like? Confident people have a true sense of self. They know what they like and what they don’t like. They know what they are good at and know when to ask for help. They take chances and enter into things with a can-do, let’s get this done attitude. So take note!

WAYS YOU CAN BEGIN BUILDING YOUR CONFIDENCE
- Get things done – confidence is built on accomplishment. If you accomplish the goals you set for yourself every day, chanced are you’ll begin meeting weekly and monthly goals. Progress is incremental so set small goals and big changes will happen if you stick with it.Do the right thing – Ask yourself what the best version of yourself that you aspire to be. Chances are they’ll be short term sacrifices for long term goals. Stick with them.
- Exercise – don’t overlook the power of exercise. It not only helps you with how good your body can feel but it helps to manage stress and depression. Exercise can improve every aspect of your life.
- Be fearless – Every successful person has been fearful at one time or another but they’ve kept going. Think about how you want to achieve your goals, put fear aside and keep going, one day at a time.
- Stand up for yourself – don’t allow anyone to make you feel you don’t deserve what you want or can’t achieve it. Be gracious and move on.
- Follow through – this is an important one. People respect people who do what they say they’re going to do. And you’ll respect yourself if you do what you say. Action gives your words meaning and will help on the path to achieving your goals. If you say you’re going to do something with or for someone or yourself then do it!
- Think long term – big goals require time and sacrifices so you’ll need to dip deep and discipline yourself. It will pay off and the pride and confidence you’ll feel will be worth it. You must decide your long term goal is more important than your short term comfort.
- Don’t care what others think – people can change themselves and the world but not if they listen to naysayers. Believe in yourself and keep going.
- Do more of what makes you happy – whatever you love, create space for it.
Confidence is a belief in yourself, an ability to meet life’s challenges and to succeed and the willingness to get in and do what needs to be done to reach your goals. Trust and believe in yourself.
